I DIDN’T WRITE THE ESSAY. JOHN PERRY DID.

You posted it so you read it and obviously took it to heart. Let's look at his solution:

"Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars. Having bonded with his twin teleprompters, the president would be detailed for ceremonial speech-making."

OK, so you have Admiral Mullen as de facto head of government, ably assisted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Now what? What happens from here on in? When and how to you replace your 'interim administration'? Do you hold a new election? What do you do with Obama? Do you jail him? Prevent him from running again in your replacement government? Otherwise, what it he ran again and won again in your new election? Or is your 'interim administration' permanent and will every future president share power wiht the Joint Chiefs? If so, then who will appoint the Joing Chiefs? The very man they're sharing power with? What's to stop him from stacking the deck in his favor and appointing military heads that will keep him in power?

So John Perry wants the military to take over? Obviously he hasn't thought it through. Neither have you
